Wy have they removed it? I used it all of the time and I am really struggling now.

After day after, Apple makes harder to use this Xcode really. That simple process should be easy, i shouldn't press ⇧ ⌥ ⌘ { to zoom. ARGH APPLE!

You can always change the shortcut to something more convenient.

@gaurav: You shouldn't have to change the shortcuts, though. The default should be something reasonable. Customizing shortcuts should be for if someone has a really weirdly specific workflow they need, or if they're used to using a different program which had similar functionality. This keyboard shortcut seems like they came up with it by just picking 4 (why 4‽) random keys.

Command+Alt+Shift+{ for zoom out OR Command+Alt+Shift+} for zoom in AND Command+Alt+Shift+| for 100%.

This is so dumb. You can use the trackpad to zoom to any level.. but then it'll snap to, say 100% or 50%. And STILL you can't select items on the Storyboard unless you're at 100%. I'm sorry.. what year is this again ?

Hm, using the shift key seems to be required because the curly braces are the upper case option for that key, but because of MacOS' use of the shift key as a modifier to slow down animations, it seems to force the zoom to go in slow motion. Anyone have success with this without the shift key? (screenshot of latest xcode shows no shift character i.imgur.com/riIhsvg.png

to fix the slow zoom, just rebind your keybindings for canvas zoom. They default to shift+option+command+[ and since the shift modifier slows the animations down, changing it to something like command+[ will resolve the issue (note you may have keybinding conflicts you have to fix). The exact name of the keybinding is Zoom -> Zoom In (Editor Menu for Interface Builder).

You can also right click in the white space surrounding the view-controller (diagram) to get zoom menu options in a pop-up (Note: The Xcode App must have focus for this to work or you will NOT get the zoom pop-up).
